Boots
I was wondering what your favourite boots were to wear with a kilt? Socks up or scrunched down.

Motorcycle boots. Both, depending on the occasion.
Got 'em on now, in fact, as I'm about to head to the Chesapeake Celtic Festival (Snow Hill, MD). Socks are up because it is cool and drizzly right now - but it's supposed to clear up and warm up - so the socks may be scrunched later on. 
If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy.

I take it that's because you ride a motorcycle though?

They aren't "specifically" for bikers but do give needed ankle protection. They are a bit lighter than a Harley-knockoff pair I've got (and never wear) and are good for walking or when I'm out shooting photographs for a day.

I used to do photography as a semi pro back in the UK, but here in Spain its no go. Every town has a studio, often more than one and usually very old fashioned looking but I don't have the languge skills to break into the local market.

I have a combination of boots I wear depending on the occasion. Most of the time I'm in my utilities so I wear biker style boots with socks pulled up. With the more formal stuff I have a very nice set of renissance style calf highs I wear with hose pulled up and rolled for flashes. If in a competition I wear my army pattern kilt that I made with my combat boots and Army green socks.

Mel,
I like my Timberland Alpine hiking boots. They are rugged and very comfortable; quite suited to the hiking/climbing that I do.
Also, I prefer wearing my hose more traditionally as opposed to scrunched. When hiking, I carry a very sharp, 6" Sgian Dubh and a snake bite kit in my sporran.

Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.
